Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Much better than prior vintages, when it was known as Finca El Portillo. The nose is jammy and shows black fruit aromas, while the palate is complete and full but juicy, with plum and black cherry flavors. Pepper and toast flavors infiltrate the finish.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Here’s a crisp by-the-glass style of Pinot that’s bringing good cherry and raspberry aromas, mild spice notes, and then a firm but lean body with plenty of acidity to propel crisp, cutting flavors of red plum and tart berry. Light and sheering but not sour or too thin.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Cola, black fruit and a pinch of green herbs define the bouquet on this solid bargain Cabernet. The palate has a good, healthy feel and flavors of roasted berry, pepper and cola. Finishes mildly minty yet juicy.
